Imperial Reforms and Colonial
Protests, 1763-1774
Figure 5.1 The Bostonians Paying the Excise-man, or Tarring and Feathering (1774),
attributed to Philip Dawe,
depicts the most publicized tarring and feathering incident of the American
Revolution. The victim is John Malcolm, a
customs official loyal to the British crown.

5.1 Confronting the National Debt: The Aftermath of the French and Indian War

5.4 The Destruction of the Tea and the Coercive Acts
5.5 Disaffection: The First Continental Congress and American Identity
Introduction
The Bostonians Paying the Excise-man, or Tarring and Feathering (Figure 5.1), shows
five Patriots tarring and
feathering the Commissioner of Customs, John Malcolm, a sea captain, army officer,
and staunch Loyalist.
The print shows the Boston Tea Party, a protest against the Tea Act of 1773, and
the Liberty Tree, an elm
tree near Boston Common that became a rallying point against the Stamp Act of 1765.
When the crowd
threatened to hang Malcolm if he did not renounce his position as a royal customs
officer, he reluctantly
agreed and the protestors allowed him to go home. The scene represents the
animosity toward those who
supported royal authority and illustrates the high tide of unrest in the colonies
after the British government
imposed a series of imperial reform measures during the years 1763–1774.
The government’s formerly lax oversight of the colonies ended as the architects of
the British Empire put
these new reforms in place. The British hoped to gain greater control over colonial
trade and frontier
settlement as well as to reduce the administrative cost of the colonies and the
enormous debt left by the
French and Indian War. Each step the British took, however, generated a backlash.
Over time, imperial
reforms pushed many colonists toward separation from the British Empire.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. INDIAN ALLIANCES
• In 1677, the English colonists in
North America entered into a
formal alliance with the Iroquois
Confederacy. The treaties that
formed the alliance were known
as the Covenant Chain.
• In 1753, the Mohawk tribe
broke the Covenant Chain after
colonists illegally claimed tribal
land in New York.
• The breaking of the Covenant
Chain led the Iroquois to stop
defending the interests of the
English colonists.
4. INDIAN ALLIANCES
• The Huron people, whose tribal
territory lay to the north of the
Iroquois Confederacy, were
longstanding enemies of the
Iroquois. In 1608, they entered
into a formal alliance with the
French colonists who had
begun to settle in Quebec.
• By 1754, then, the English had
just lost their alliance with the
Iroquois while the French kept
their alliance with the Huron.
• The French and Indian War
broke out in 1754.
5. ROBERT DINWIDDIE
• Royal Governor of Virginia, with
private economic interests in
the Ohio River Valley.
• In 1753, French soldiers began
constructing a fort at the forks
of the Ohio River in present-day
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Completion of this fort would
give the French total control
over trade with the Indians of
the Ohio River Valley.
• In 1754, Dinwiddie sent
Virginian soldiers to expel the
French and take over their fort.
6. GEORGE
WASHINGTON
• Appointed by Dinwiddie to lead
the charge against the French.
• Washington and his men
attacked the French but failed
to expel them. As French
reinforcements arrived,
Washington had few options
but to surrender and retreat.
• The dispute between English
and French colonists in America
meant that England and France
were now effectively at war.
7. THE ALBANY CONGRESS: JUNE 19 TO JULY 11, 1754
To repair the alliance
with the Iroquois and
to discuss ways of
handling the dispute
with the French,
delegates from the
English colonies met
in Albany, New York.
They unanimously
approved a proposal
drafted by Benjamin
Franklin to create a
union of the colonies
which would have
the authority to deal
with problems of
collective security.
8. BENJAMIN
FRANKLIN
• Philanthropist and public official
from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
• Wrote books and treatises,
published and edited a
newspaper, engaged in
international diplomacy,
conducted scientific
experiments, and founded
important public institutions.
• Advocated the union of the
colonies from 1754 onwards,
first in their dispute with France
and then in their revolutionary
dispute with Great Britain.
9. MAJOR GENERAL EDWARD BRADDOCK
AND THE BRADDOCK EXPEDITION OF 1755
In an attempt to end
the dispute with the
French, the British
Government sent one
of its most decorated
military strategists to
capture the fort. He had
never visited America
before and his offensive
ended in disaster.
10. BRADDOCK’S
DEFEAT AT THE
BATTLE OF THE
MONONGAHELA
Braddock refused to rely on Indian
knowledge of the battle terrain.
When he neared the forks of the
Ohio River, the French and their
Indian allies were hiding in the
trees awaiting his arrival. After he
was severely wounded, George
Washington, who was under his
command, tried to impose order
on the surviving troops.
